Seedance 2.5 makes up to 30-second videos with native sound, but writing prompts, picking settings and waiting on renders still takes time. Connecting Seedance to Claude moves all of that into one conversation: you describe the video, Claude handles the model, the price and the progress. This guide covers setup, three prompt patterns and how to put a Seedance workflow on a schedule.

Step 1: Add the Seedance MCP Server to Claude

1. Copy the server URL: https://www.seedance.tv/mcp.
2. In Claude, open the connectors settings, choose Add custom connector, name it Seedance and paste the URL.
3. Sign in with your Seedance account and click Connect.

That's it. The Seedance MCP page has the same steps for ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, OpenClaw and Hermes.

Step 2: Make Your First Seedance Video in Claude

Start with one clear request and let Claude check the price:

Use Seedance 2.5 to make a 10-second 16:9 video: a lighthouse on a cliff at

dusk, waves crashing, slow drone push-in, wind and seagull sounds. Tell me the

credit cost before you start.

Claude picks the settings, tells you the price, starts the job and follows it until the video is ready on your Seedance canvas. If you prefer, name the model and settings yourself.

Three Prompt Patterns That Save the Most Time

1. Variations in one message

Make 5 versions of this product video with different opening hooks, 8 seconds

each, 9:16. Use the product photo I uploaded as the first frame.

Seedance runs up to 50 shots at once, so variations come back together and you keep the best.

2. Script first, video second

Plan a 40-second story about a fox who finds a lost lantern: 5 scenes,

narration and soft music. Show me the plan before generating anything.

Seedance's agent writes the scenes for you to approve. Nothing is generated or charged until you say go. Then Claude makes every shot, adds the voiceover and music, and cuts the final video. You can also do this on the web with the Seedance Video Agent.

3. Keep a character or product consistent

Upload your character or product photos first and tell Claude to use them as references in every shot. Seedance 2.5 accepts image, video and audio references, so faces, outfits and packaging stay the same across scenes.

Step 3: Put Seedance on a Schedule

When a prompt gives you results you like, save it as a Claude scheduled task:

1. Open Scheduled in Claude and create a new task.
2. Paste a complete prompt: model, number of videos, length, aspect ratio, where to save and a credit limit.
3. Choose hourly, daily, weekly or weekdays.
4. Run it once by hand and check the videos on your Seedance canvas.

Example scheduled prompt:

Every Monday, use Seedance 2.0 Fast to make four 8-second 9:16 videos for this

week's posts, one per theme: tip, behind the scenes, product close-up, customer

question. Check the total cost first and stop if it is over 80 credits. Save

them to my "Weekly social" project and list the links.

Good Uses for Automated Seedance Videos

Keep Automation Under Control

• Set a credit cap in every scheduled prompt. If your balance is short, nothing is charged.
• Review before posting. Check faces, hands, text and logos.
• Start small. Two or three videos per run is enough until the prompt is reliable.
• Disconnect anytime from Connected apps in your Seedance account.
